Even NY sports betting didn’t see this coming.
The resurgent New York Giants (4-1) host the Baltimore Ravens (3-2) for a Sunday matinee at 1 p.m. (CBS) in a key game for both teams chances in their respective divisions.
New York has opened the eyes of a lot of football fans with their grittiness and never-say-die attitude, which was on full display in a come-from-behind 27-22 victory over their conference rival Green Bay Packers last Sunday in London.
A brand new attitude brought by new head coach Brian Daboll, the rejuvenation of running back Saquon Barkley and play of quarterback Daniel Jones have all led to one of the best starts in team history, as the Giants have already matched their season win total from last season.
However, Caesars New York has the Ravens as -5.5 favorites on Sunday, with an over/under of 45 points.
